"Silk,tulle, satin and lace-mere yards of fabric to some, but to every bride are at the heart of a romantic dream -- her wedding dress." So begins Maria McBride-Mellinger's paean to the wedding dress,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book has a wide range of wedding dresses in different styles, lengths, moods, fabrics, and even colors (although the vast majority are white). If you're looking for something that's the height of current fashion, it's not going to help you at all. But if you're looking for a broad range of options for something more unique but still classy, it's a fantastic find.
Brides from the past

This book is definitely very useful for brides who want their dress inspired by the past. There's also a very curious part about star signs for brides-to-be who want to have fun. However, if your mantra is "modern", I don't think this book is appropriate.
worth it just for the pictures

Beautiful history of the wedding gown
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I thought that this was a beautiful book about one of the most special aricles of clothing a woman will ever wear in her lifetime. It showed the reader the great history of the wedding gown over a period of time, and how some of these same styles are popular by today's standards! If you are interested in a book that gives you nice pictures and a history of a timeless creation such as the wedding gown, this is the book for you. I have been married myself for sometime now, and I enjoy looking at this book even after my own wedding!
